This audio reportedly shows President Obama's Safe Education Czar talking about someone named Brewster having sex with a young boy. I don't know. I listened to the clip but it's so low and garbled that I couldn't make anything out. But here's an article from Human Events that talks about it.

he tells about a young male sophomore, "Brewster," who confessed to Jennings "his involvement with an older man he met in Boston." But at a GLSEN rally in 2000, Jennings told a more explicit version of “Brewster’s” story. Jennings here quotes the boy and then comments: "'I met someone in the bus station bathroom and I went home with him.' High school sophomore, 15 years old. That was the only way he knew how to meet gay people."

President Obama has the time to fly to Denmark to personally bid for the 2016 Olympics, but he doesn't have the time to talk with Gen. Stanley McChrystal? Does he even care about trying to win this war?

This is an early piece of "artwork" that I did for a forum I use to belong to.

Why is my microwave so pushy? Yeah, I heard you the first time. You don't need to keep beeping every few seconds. Yeesh.

Why are some so obsessed with being "First" when posting comments to sites? Check out trekmovie.com to examples.

That ignorant VH1 show Tool Academy proves life isn't fair.

I only did bad jokes once, maybe twice, before. I think we need some more

Bad Joke 1Why couldn't the faucet be within 100 feet of the pasta bowl?There was a restraining order

Have you seen those Gamefly.com comercials where the guys are freaking out and crying because they're playing a crappy game? Yo, that shit is real. I don't how many controllers I've busted because of games like that. Sometimes developers just put some stupid stuff in these games that makes absolute no sense

A 4GB MP3 player doesn't hold a much as you would think

I love baked chicken. With a little kosher salt and Season All. Yum

Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream.Wave upon wave of demented avengersMarch cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream.

Twitter really is the perfect invention for our "do it now, 2 minute microwave meal, broadband, 30 seconds is too long" world we live in

$1600 for shoes? Kiss my ass

Bad Joke 2What do you call epileptic lettuce?Seizure salad.

Why do people read tabloids? I personally can't stand them. Whether is the National Enquirer or People magazine. They make me sick to my stomach

I hate earbud headphones. They're too big for my ears so they hurt and they don't keep outside sound out so you have to crank the music up just to hear it. I like my noise cancelling headphones. Yeah, they're bulky but they sound great and I can't hear you when you try to talk to me

We've come a long, long way together, through the hard times and the good. I have to celebrate you baby, I have to praise like I should

Now on DVD and Blu-Ray. Well, isn't Blu-Ray a DVD? It's digital, isn't it? It's versatile, or it's a video if that's what you like, and it's on a disk. Therefore it's a DVD. It's like Apple vs. PC. An Apple is a PC

Some people just aren't happy unless they're complaining about something

Smarties may be the best candy ever made

Bad Joke 3Why do fish live in saltwater?Pepper makes them sneeze.

Emily tries, but misunderstandsShe's often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams until tomorrow

5 Things I Don't Understand1. Women2. How a car works3. How people eat Mushrooms4. Why my hair refuses to grow right & why I can't grow a beard5. The popularity of The Eagles

I know we're not supposed to watch NBC and support GE and Jeffrey Immelt, but I need to watch SVU, Chuck and Heroes. I need to watch my shows on USA and Syfy. There are just some sacrifices I'm not ready to make just yet.

Why doesn't Firefox save it's cache so that when it crashes you don't have to load everything again?

Wow, talk about complete opposites. During the TEA Party and 912 protests, no violence, no one was arrested or caused any destruction. In contrast, people wearing black hoods and masks clashed with police in Pittsburgh while protesting the G20 summit. They threw rocks and trash cans and smashed private property. And the "teabaggers" and 912ers are the ones to watch out for. I wonder how many in the media will make fun of these people?

Then we have The Story Of Stuff, produced by the Tides Foundation, being showing in some schools. "It's the governments job to watch out for us and take care of us." Amongst other lies. And did anyone see the FNC special they did about text books in schools today? I tell you. If I had children, there's no way in hell they'd be in public school.

Lt. John Madea holds his daughter as she is baptized with holy water from the ship's bell of the amphibious dock landing ship USS Tortuga (LSD 46). This is the fourth person baptized aboard Tortuga since the ship's christening in 1988, and her name will be inscribed inside the bell as a tradition of the U.S. Navy.

STEPHANOPOULOS: How about the funding for ACORN? OBAMA: You know, if -- frankly, it's not really something I've followed closely. I didn't even know that ACORN was getting a whole lot of federal money.

CORRECTEDReally? He didn't know ACORN has received $53 million since 1994 and are in line to receive a chunk of another 8.5 BILLION. from his spendulas bill? Only two things could explain that. 1) He's lying and he thinks we're idiots or 2) He has no idea what's going on. And he hasn't been following this story? Well, I guess when all you watch is CNN and NBC that's possible.

What is the Speaker Pelosi talking about? Is she actually trying to equate the Tea Party and 9/12 movements with murder and cults and what not? But, sadly, she's right. Something will happen. Because a nut is a nut no matter what. It's almost as if some want something to happen so they can shout "Told you so". And when it does, Beck and Fox News will get the blame, like they already prematurely have, because that's the climate we live in now.

This time in California. I thought they were supposed to have failed in California and New York? And from what I understand, there's another coming. When does it go from "rouge employees" to "we have a problem"?

Six years ago I started this blog. When I started it I did so just to have something to do. I really had no intention of even really doing anything with it. Just post a bunch of crap that happened to be on my mind. And six years later I'm still doing just that. Some that I met early on are still around with me and others have moved on and new ones have taken their place. And I'm still here pounding away on the keys telling you about what dumb thing our government is doing or posting some horrible piece of "artwork" or that my mom went in for surgery or some Random Thoughts or that my dog had passed away. And I want to thank those of you who left the kind comments when that happened. I had no idea that this site would last as long as it has. But it has, even though there have been a few times I was ready to hang it up. Thank you all for reading, agreeing, disagreeing, etc, etc... Now, put on some music and let's party. Who has the cake?

Now it's the NY branch of ACORN. I wonder how many more tapes there are. ACORN said this was tried, and failed, in San Diego, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia. Could those four other cities be coming next?

Does anyone know the official number of protesters that showed up in DC? I've read that as many as 2 million, but I don't think that's even possible. While watching it they said that it stretched back at something like a mile from the steps of the Capital to the Washington Monument. That's a a lot of people. Thousands of angry astroturfers and was anyone arrested? Was there any damage to property?

I began working on the Christmas design of the blog yesterday. It's going to be the one I used last year because I liked it so much. At least I hope it's going to be last years. I haven't worked with HTML in almost a year and I can't seem to remember how I did it. So I may not be able to. I'm going to have to take a crash course and try to learn it all again. I wish I'd kept a copy of the code from last year. I checked archive.org to see if it was there but they stopped in 2007. So no hope there. If I'm able to figure this out I'm going to be smart and save it.

Here we go again. And this organization could be getting something to the tune of 3.5 billion of our taxpayer dollars thanks to Obama's stimulus bill. Why? Well, I think might know why actually. The corruption at ACORN almost matches the corruption in Washington. Like hangs with like, and all that.

Someone in Congress had to stand up to Obama and call him out. And my new hero, S.C. Rep. Joe Wilson, did just that. At yesterday's address to Congress by President Obama, as he was lying through his teeth about his government run health care plan not covering illegals Rep. Wilson shouted "You Lie" to the president. But then he went and chickened out and apologized. Why? He was just speaking for the American public. Doing the very thing we wish we could do. Damn this air of cowardice that permeates Washington. If you believe the president is lying, stand up and let it be know and don't bow under pressure from anyone.

And did anyone else notice the hypocrisy when Obama was talking about special interest?

This would have been with last weeks post, but Kathi, who's done these for the past three years without even being asked to do so, was super busy and wasn't able to get to it. So after you view it, head over to her site and thank her.

Is President Obama a "truther"? Does he support censorship? Is he a Communist? Is he a eugenicist? Is he anti-Capitalist? Is he a racist? Is he a Black Nationalist? If the answer to these questions are "No", why then is he surrounding himself with people who are? And aren't these questions those in the media should be asking?

And it's all because Glenn Beck is the only one in the media doing his job. And it's not even his job. He's a commentator, not a reporter. So not only is Van Jones an Obama failure for even being allowed to become an adviser to the president, but he's a media failure as well because they just sat on their asses and twiddling their thumbs. But this really isn't much of a victory because we have the other 30+ Czars left in there.

Anyone surprised? He believes White people are poisoning minorities. Once you think the government had a roll in the attacks you forfeit all credibility. Not that he had any to begin with. Obama told us to look at the people he associates with to know his views. Van Jones, John Holdren, Cass Sunstein, Bill Ayers, ACORN, SEIU, ect, ect, ect.....

Today marks the third anniversary of the Wednesday Hero Blogroll. Not the actual Wednesday Hero posts. I started these posts in 2005. This marks the third year of when I took these posts public and let others post them. And it's taken off like gangbusters. When I started the blogroll, I never in a million years expected what has happened. People have signed up and wanted to take part in honoring those who do what they do in the name of freedom. At one point reaching over 100 participating sites. I wanted to thank all of you who have signed up and those of you who read and comment on these posts. These people, whether they're actually in the military or are just doing something to aid those in the military, deserve to be remembered.
